Rye Forrester is a man suffering from a pain he can't ride
away from. He meets Dulcie McDaniels just after she's
buried her father. He's come in search of the wife of the
man whose death he caused. He can't forgive himself and he
can't bring himself to tell Dulcie; instead he offers to
help her on the ranch for room and board until after the
harvest.
Dulcie McDaniel has secrets, too. Secrets she doesn't want
Rye to discover because then he couldn't bring himself to
love her the way she loves and wants him. Dulcie's father
was hung for a murder he didn't commit, and the town and a
peddler named Lamont know all of Dulcie's secrets. Finding
the murderer could bring it all out in the open. Can Rye
and Dulcie's growing love withstand the truth?
This is the second in the saga of the Forrester brothers.
Maureen McKade draws her characters with a fine
hand. They are neither all good nor all bad, but simply
human beings trying to survive with a modicum of dignity.
Rye is strong and unforgiving, as is Dulcie. But the person
they find it hardest to forgive is themselves. They are
very real and when they come together, it's that union of
strength and weakness that we all bring to a relationship.
This is a romance, of course, so we aren't truly afraid it
won't come out right, but it's also a story that pulls you
in and leaves you wanting more. And of course, there is the
third brother to find. I'm looking forward to it.
Lonely and filled with regrets, Dulcie McDaniels struggles
to provide a decent life for her daughter. Usually shunned
by proper folks, she's suspicious of Rye Forrester, a
drifter offering to work for his keep. But after he helps
harvest the crop, her feelings toward the handsome stranger
turn into a consuming passion. But Rye has his own secrets.
When their tragic pasts catch up with them, these two
wounded souls must fight for the love that will keep them
together for a lifetime.
